UK Court Extends Defamation Ban to Craig Wright, Ending Decade of Legal Battles

A UK High Court has issued a comprehensive ban on defamation lawsuits filed by Craig Wright, who claims to be the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. Judge Edward Mellor’s ruling on May 12th highlights Wright’s persistent pattern of false statements and aggressive litigation strategies that have created legal hurdles for individuals and developers in the Bitcoin community. The court cited Wright’s attempts to leverage the legal system for intimidation purposes, often relying on fabricated evidence to force others to expend significant time and financial resources defending themselves against his claims.
